Donald Trump has vowed to never give up on his dream to build a clubhouse and second golf course at his Menie Estate in Aberdeenshire.
Mr Trump arrived in the north-east aboard his private jet after visiting the Turnberry course in Ayrshire, which he purchased last month.
The tycoon was met by Colin MacKenzie, chief executive of Aberdeenshire Council, and Aberdeenshire Provost Jill Webster on his arrival at Aberdeen International Airport.
He insisted he would be pressing ahead with his plans for Menie – but only if the proposed European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre (EOWDC) in Aberdeen bay is abandoned.
Speaking to journalists on board his 757 jet, Mr Trump said: “We look forward to building the second course and everything is ready to go with the clubhouse too – as soon as they stop this terrible charade of these windmills.
